  • Monitor inventory levels and recommend improvements to inventory management
  • Generate purchasing reports and support forecasting activities
Leadership
  • Lead and develop purchasing personnel
  • Establish best practices and continuous improvement initiatives
  • Support company goals related to cost reduction, supplier development, and operational excellence
What We're Looking For Required Experience
  • 5+ years of purchasing or procurement experience within industrial manufacturing
  • Experience purchasing for industrial machinery, capital equipment, automation, machine tool, or engineered products
  • ERP/MRP system experience
  • Strong negotiation and supplier management skills

  • Supply Chain Manager
  • Materials Manager
  • Lead Buyer
